You like it a lot Eclipse? I almost got one a month ago, but said screw it and I would wait for a deal (didn't want to wait on shipping). Nothing has popped up, so I think I'm just going to get it. Looks pretty good. What color do you have? I think everything is pretty ugly besides the white, the white/blue isn't bad but still looks odd.

I edited my post like 18 times because I've been up for 30 hours and can't think straight... but definitely don't waste your time with clip on mics.... they're terrible.

Just because I've said it 5 other times here I'll say it to you... get a pair of X12's... they won't disappoint. Built in mic and great sound quality with comfort.

Oh whoops... apparently they have a mic... I didn't see one in the picture... nevermind

I use my TB X31s that I bought for my Xbox a few years ago.

Wireless = Win

Wireless is always nice but personally isn't worth the extra $50

I would pay twice as much for it if I knew how good it was. Extremely comfortable, very sturdy, and amazing sound. Plus, they look great. $60 is definitely not an expensive price for this quality at all.

On the two you listed, you say TB prices things 2-3 times more than what they're worth? As Pella said, a lot of people don't care if you can hear an ant fart. Plus, where's the mic? I'd price those headphones at $70 absolute maximum.

But please, list some examples of TB pricing their headphones for more than they are worth and I will gladly step down in defeat.

I'm not looking for a drawn out discussion, and I could care less about winning an argument over the internet. Just giving my $.02 based on past experiences with headphones ranging from cheap crap to fairly high end. Don't take my word for it - there's plenty of good info out there, and for any budget.

Doing the research for this purchase is your responsibility, not mine. However, TB makes a lot of money relying on that fact that do not.

What does that last part have to do with anything? You made a blanket statement saying TB headphones are overpriced yet terrible, that's your job to back up, not mine.

I owned a 5.1 TB headset years ago. I actually liked it quite a bit, but it feel apart on me after a year or so. I haven't really looked at them, since however.

Pella · 2012-07-23, 02:11 PM

Got the new headset today.

Feels awesome. And the Quality is great as i expected.

Better than a Russian internet wife.

I just got these a few days ago. They are extremely comfortable, the ear cups are deep cushioned and comfortable, same with the headband. You can wear these for hours without feeling any discomfort. Most comfortable headphones I've ever bought, IMO.

The sound is rich, full, and amazing. Very crisp highs and adjustable bass. It goes very deep if you max out the booster. You can add a 7.1 surround sound adapter for extra money, if you so wish.

The mic on it is very flexible and is crystal clear.

The headset itself is very sturdy and feels like you should have paid at least $100.

If you feel like spending a bit more money, there is a 7.1 DSS wireless headset for $130.

wow.. these seem awesome! so gonna get these.. especially since mine broke not long ago.
heh.. thanks to both the OP, and you ^^

I've given up on headsets. Always meh sound quality, always breaking at the damn in-line volume thing.

When my current one goes I'm getting a cheap boom mic and some decent stand-alone headphones.

Yep, TB makes quality headsets.

Don't listen to the heretics.
